- Application iilecl August 27, 1898. Serial No. 689,642 (No model.)

T0 @ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN E. HEWETT, a citizen of the United States,residing at'Wilmington, in the county of New Hanover and State of NorthCarolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inQuotationsCards; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled inthe art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon, which form a part ofthis specification. f v

The special object of the invention is to make a quotation-card withboth ends open, so that it may be conveniently sent through the UnitedStates mail for the ordinary cheap rate for similar matter. It isspecially adapted for price-lists and for other purposes analogous orotherwise.

Figure l of the drawings is a plan view of my quotation-card before ithas been folded and the pocket formed. Fig. 2 is a similar inside Viewshowing the pocket formed on the outside edge of one leaf; and Fig. 3 isa view showing the outer edge of one leaf secured in the pocket of theother, the two ends or edges of the card being left open.

In the drawings, A represents that leaf of the card which is providedwith the pocket B on its outer edge, while A' is the leaf whose outeredge lits int-o said pocket, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings.

The leaf A is larger than the leaf A' by as much as is sufcient to makethe folding strip b, which has a diagonal cut or slit b' at each end andextending down to the fold b2. Leaf A' is corner-cut at a. a; After thetwo leaves A A have been brought together the strip b is folded down onthe outer edge of the leaf A', so as to carry with itthe angle-piece b3,which is provided with paste to stick it to the leaf A', the same beingof course done at both ends, while'the angle-pieces b4 are in likemanner pasted down on thepieces b3.

It will be readily seen that the corner-cuts allow the edges of leaf Ato it very snugly within the pocket B, thus causing the card to liesmoothly and evenly on both sides.

Having thus described all that is necessary to a full understanding ofmy invention, what I claim as new and of my invention is- Aquotation-card consisting of the paper v JNO. E. HEWETT.
